Keymodes Designed for Double Scrolling

  • These keys are designed with the assumption that notes will scroll in from both the top and bottom.
  • They are typically characterized by the presence of multiple lanes of different types, requiring you to move or stretch your hands midway through.

9ikey | 9hkey | 11key* | 11Lkey* | 11Wkey | 12key* | 13key | 14key | 14ikey | 15Akey | 15Bkey | 16ikey | 23key

Note: About Key Patterns

  • Depending on the key definition, multiple key patterns may be available.
  • Some key patterns have different assigned keys, while others have different step zone layouts.
  • These are extensions designed to make the game easier to play. Even if a certain key pattern is difficult, another one might be easier, so it’s a good idea to try out different key patterns to find the one you prefer.
